Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for medium-sized sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or bruises.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly: Use a vegetable brush to remove any dirt or debris from the skin of the potatoes.
- Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork: This will help the potatoes cook more evenly.
- Do not wrap the sweet potatoes in foil: This will prevent the potatoes from getting crispy.
- Use a baking sheet that is large enough to accommodate the potatoes in a single layer: This will ensure that the potatoes cook evenly.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the potatoes and give them a crispy exterior.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting: This will ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
- Test the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center: The potatoes are done when they are tender all the way through.
